Cactus Cavalier
by Norman A. FoxThe big man wore no gun. He stood in the dust of Swayback's main street, full of wild anger. And as Dave Larkin watched from his hotel window, he saw it all happen: the boy playing in the street, the big man picking up a stone, the man at the saloon door moving for his gun. Suddenly a child was dead, and Larkin was about to become the law in a town on its knees. Larkin traveled a thousand miles to return to Swayback and a woman who hadn't waited for him. And he would have ridden out that same night if he hadn't seen the killing and the way saloon owner Nick Diamond laughed it off. Now Larkin can't go anywhere. Not before he takes on Diamond's gang of thieves and killers with a blazing six-gun and his fists. Not before he lives or dies in the place he'd once called home.
Cactus Rose
by Samantha HarteIn the heat of the southwest, desire is the kindling for two lost souls—and the flame of passion threatens to consume them both. Rosie Saladay needs to get married—fast. The young widow needs help to protect her late husband’s ranch, but no decent woman can live alone with a hired hand. With the wealthy Wesley Morris making a play for her land, Rosie needs a husband or she risks losing everything. So she hangs a sign at the local saloon: “Husband wanted. Apply inside. No conjugal rights.” Delmar Grant is a sucker for a damsel in distress, and even with Rosie’s restrictions on “boots under her bed” stated firmly in black and white, something about the lovely widow’s plea leaves him unable to turn away her proposal of marriage. Though neither planned on falling in love, passion ignites between the unlikely couple. But their buried secrets—and enemies with both greed and a grudge—threaten to tear them apart. They’ll discover this marriage of convenience may cost them more than they could have ever bargained for.
